You've been bathing in those ponds with dirty underpants again.

If you do find quite a few Monk, count the pectoral fins and divide by two, this will give a good indication as to how many there are.

They came to England via the Romans a long time before there were any Monks.

"The Monks poached them off the Chinese" - would have thought stir-frying would have been more in their line.

If you've any to spare your holiness, I have a hungry set of gnashers down here in my front room who would love to take some off your hands....

After all, wasn't it somebody religious who said he could feed five hundred with only five fish ? Give and let give...or am I getting confuddled here ?
